A "Worktop" should be a surface to work on not a surface subject to
scratches or burnmarks. You might consider using Formica or even Stone.
If you go through the expense of reworking the Oak and varnishing it it will
still be subject to abrasion or heat.
Hardly a worktop.

My housemate placed a hot pan on our oak worktop. Now there is a large
black burn mark on the surface. Should we sand it down and revarnish?
Called in a french polisher and he quoted a ridiculous amount and also
said that the mark would still be noticeable. Can someone tell me if
his is likely?
